Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.

If it’s not obvious by now, I’m a total sucker for historic properties. I love a shiny new building as much as the next girl, but there’s just something about a property that’s steeped in history that piques my interest. I can tell you right now that if I had a cool $2 million lying around, this gorgeous old inn wouldn’t be for sale much longer. It’s survived fires, ghost stories, and even visits from presidents, and now, it will be someone’s dream! Take an inside look at the oldest continuously operating Inn here in Ohio. Who knows, maybe innkeeper is your dream job!

🌳 Celebrate Hocking Hills’ 100th Anniversary with a Stunning Fall Hike
100 years ago, something that happened genuinely changed my life. The State of Ohio purchased the incredible property containing Old Man’s Cave, the first stone in building Hocking Hills State Park into what it is today. If, like myself, you’ve found yourself lost in the magic of this incredible natural wonderland, you might want to participate in this gorgeous celebratory hike.
